Introducing Hayat Pharmaceutical Industrieshp-building

Hayat Pharmaceutical Industries, based in Amman, the capital city of Jordan, is a relatively young pharmaceutical manufacturer and marketer founded on a wealth of experience in the field of marketing and distribution of pharmaceuticals.

Founders

dr-kurdiDr. Mohammad Ali Kurdi, a passionate entrepreneur, noted a window of opportunity for the manufacture of generic pharmaceuticals in Jordan and the potential of a large export market to the Middle East and North Africa region. Jordan had integrated itself into the global market by joining the WTO. HPI therefore set its sights on EU countries and Eastern Europe.

The plant produces a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms with strict adherence to current Good Manufacturing Practice® (cGMP) guidelines and the implementation of a Quality Assurance system that ensures high quality product output.

The plant facilities include three production lines covering three categories. These include solid dosage forms such as tablets, capsules and dry suspensions; semi-solid dosage forms such as creams, ointments, suppositories and gels; and liquid dosage forms such as syrups, nasal and ear-drops and other solutions.

Production in the HPI plant started in 1996 followed in the next year by the launch of the first products to the local market.
